Day 5 light headedness and diarrhoea?

G'day guys, I'm on day 5 of extended fast and am suffering just today with diarrhoea, I've done nothing different to usual... ran this morning, had some salts and electrolytes and that's it (I don't drink tea or coffee, or anything other than water), Any ideas? Should I break the fast?

Answer

Happens, don’t worry about it. You can take some fiber supplements if it’s too much (it won’t break your fast).
Edit: also, if you are taking magnesium, try lowering the amount because it can cause diarrhea.

Answer

guessing too much salt . take some plain water. rest for a bit. lower potassium too it can make your heart rate change might be why you are dizzy. it you have access to a PB cuff take your PB. in the states you can buy them at Walmart or CVS…

If you get nauseous stop your fast . Gently. There is always another day to fast..
